ConclusionsConclusionsSciX will use WSDL, XML and OAI SciX will use WSDL, XML and OAI standards for inter-archive data standards for inter-archive data exchangeexchangeSciX will trivialize the creation and SciX will trivialize the creation and management of open archivesmanagement of open archivesSciX is identifying needs for other SciX is identifying needs for other kinds of cross archive collaborationkinds of cross archive collaborationpsychological, social and economic psychological, social and economic problems remainproblems remain
